Review of 'Building a Second Brain' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This book should have been half its size. I did enjoy the content (the practical stuff), but the writing was repetitive and included many anecdotes that didn't add to the book. It also had some "self-help"/"motivational" content that really grinds my gears ("if you follow this book's advice you'll be smarter, more creative, your skin will clear, your crops will grow, etc /s).
Still, I extracted value from the book and would recommend at least a quick skim read for those who are interested in the subject.
